LG G4 likely to be go official in April

Well, a lot of rumors for the HTC One M9 and the Galaxy S6 have been floating these days. Both the devices are likely to go official during the same time at the MWX 2015 expo next month in March. However, there is one more flagship, the LG G4 is said to be announced a month later in April. Reports from the industry show that the LG flagship will demand its own attention avoiding direct rift with the Galaxy S6 and HTC One M9.

A Korean publication has tipped that “LG Electronics decided not to release the G4 at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) exhibition in Barcelona in March.” Another LG source has explained the reason for this time frame as “Samsung usually releases its new flagship model in the first quarter of each year, and Apple in the second quarter. We need some in-between time to make a bigger splash.”

Earlier, one of the LG executives explained that “We rolled out the G3 in May last year so we do not plan to unveil the G4 at this year’s Mobile World Congress and [will] spend more time perfecting the new phone.” This means that even though LG may not waiting for a complete year to roll-out its flagship as the LG G3 was announced at May 2014, but it will have its own event for the launch and skip the announcement at the MWC 2015.
